lyrics

Come Spend a While Wi’ Me

Dae ye see yon mountains rise 

'Neath the vast eternal skies 

An' the world turns roun’ an' the sun gans doon 

Afore your very eyes 

An' the clock will no' turn back 

So come on we'll hae the craic 

Aye we'll hae oor fun, e'er this nicht is done 

Come spend a while wi me

Chorus:
Come spend a while wi’ me 

For your ay’ guid company 

Aye an’ wha kens when we’ll meet again 

An’ wha kens whaur we’ll be 

We’ll lift oor hearts an’ sing 

While the pipes an’ fiddles ring 

And we’ll lift oor heels tae the jigs an’ reels 

Come spend a while wi’ me

Well Davie’s songs were braw 

Aye an’ Davie’s craic an’ a’ 

But there’s mony have gone as the years roll on 

An’ Davie’s noo awa’ 

An’ the circle never ends 

So we’ll drink tae absent friends 

Aye we’ll raise a glass tae them that’s passed 

Come spend a while wi’ me

We work and eat and sleep 

Just tae earn oor meager keep 

And the stress and strife o’ oor daily life 

Is the harvest that we reap
But ye only get one chance 

So come on and join the dance 

Come forget your woe, let the music flow 

And spend a while wi’ me
